A former NBA player, Etan Thomas, said that he was denied a seat due to his race, and he called out a woman for it on social media.
On Friday, Thomas wrote a blistering Facebook post, saying the unnamed woman offered a seat to another passenger after denying him.
Thomas, who is black, said a white man asked her about the seat less than two minutes after and she agreed.
The former Washington Wizards center-power forward said he confronted the woman and took her photo. He said the woman called the conductor, who Thomas said was a fan of his, saying he “loved [him] with the Wizards,” adding that the New York Knicks “sure could use you.”
